Fres Software Free software, is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of free as in free speech, not as in free beer. 15
Free Software Free software offers four essential freedoms: The freedom to run the program, for any purpose. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish. Access to the source code is a precondition for this. The freedom to redistribute copies. The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public. 16
